I purchased one of these based on your review, and I am having a hard time believing we're playing on the same system. Critic, can you confirm if you're seeing any of these issues?

Besides having one controller that didn't work, I found the video skipping to be bad: the system couldn't even get through the intro to Image Fight without a struggle. Mystic Riders ran like a slideshow.

I’m traveling now but I’ll record more footage when I’m back on Wednesday. I have a ~2010-era LG. I got the same results running it through HDMI as on composite. I’ll try on my Sony PVM and thru a capture card to verify.
